Elizabeth Warren’s lessons for campaigning

Sen.-elect Elizabeth Warren took a victory lap on Tuesday night after her commanding victory in Massachusetts’ U.S. Senate race, laying out her advice for running a progressive campaign to an adoring crowd of liberal activists.

“I was up against a popular incumbent who had $10 million in the bank and a nifty pickup truck,” Warren told a supportive crowd of roughly 100 people at the annual Midwest Academy Awards, who greeted her with a standing ovation. “That’s a pretty formidable combination.” …

Scott Brown’s assessment:

“I was up against a Socialist from Academia who had
high Cheek bones, and a nifty Tomahawk.”

6. Lying your ass off your whole life doesn’t matter, in fact nothing at all matters including your campaign, as long as you’re a socialist running for office in a socialist state.

It’s really arrogant of her to take credit– she was just copying Dick BLumenthal’s playbook from CT: pathologically lie about everything, check “D” behind your name in a socialist state, throw victory party

Carpetbag a blue state seat, complaining about the middle class being “hammered” while pulling for tax increases, and while occupying a $350K academic slot (as the trailing professor in the household), claim that education costs are too high. While you’re at it, flip some real estate.

She’s MA’s first female Native American Senator. How cool is that?
So what if she is a lying scum bag she’s MA’s first female Native American. You know what would be even cooler? If she was MA’s first black, female, Native American, lesbian, Muslim Senator. Now you have to admit we here in MA would be the envy of every other state if it were so. Wait! She could just lie about it like she lied about everything else. Yeah that’s the ticket. Now how do we get her to lie about it? I’m crossing my fingers for the first black, female, Native American, lesbian, Muslim president. It would just make my living in MA so cool. People would say, “like your from MA?” and I would say “Yeah” and they would say “you come from the same state as our wicked cool first black, female, Native American, lesbian, Muslim president.!” and I say “Yeah” and they would say, “How cool is that dude.” And I would just walk along with that satisfied look knowing I’m way cool. Well I can only dream.

Wrong! It was well planned and thought out. She even had the balls to stand beside an asbestos victim and claimed she was on their side against the evil cooperation. She figured that nobody would challenge her with the fact she litigated against the victims of asbestos related issues. She was right in everyone’s face with bald faced lies and dared someone to challenge her. Nobody did and I have no understanding way.

“I was up against a popular incumbent who had $10 million in the bank and a nifty pickup truck,” Warren told a supportive crowd….

Nice comment about the pickup truck.

This is the thing about leftists. When they win, they just can’t do so graciously and congratulate their opponents for running a good campaign. They have to use snark and insults even after they win. And they strut around saying things like “I won,” as if we didn’t already know that.

Because they don’t view their opponents as just rivals for an elected position, they really see them as the enemy.
